Names that start only with the letter D

In LA, we have a choice. And that choice is to either write a really-not-worth-the-effort paper, or make a kick-ass movie.


It's obvious


So we got to pick partners, and write the script. But the whole point of writing this is part of our mystery unit.


It's a mystery movie!!


Basically what happens is there's these two restaurants, and one is doing better than the other. The good one decides to open another restaurant, which makes the bad one wonder.....
"Will I go out of business?? Probably..."

So the owner of the bad one, played by me, decides to kill the owner of the good one.

Then the good restaurant owners wife goes to find a detective to investigate.

Here's the cast list:

Delilah Moon: Murderer
Danielle Silver: Accomplice
Dimitri Petrov: Detective
David Greene: Victim
Dominique Greene: Victim's wife
Diablo: Dimitri's cat


Anyway, the person that's playing the detective, is other co-director, along with me.
Odd that the detective and the murderer planned and created the whole movie.


Technicalities....


We filmed this practically everywhere.
First, Dominique is also the owner of the shiny nice camera we used.
So while I was away in Florida on vacation, Dominique and Dimitri filmed their 2 scenes that they have together.
When I came home, we did the investigation scene w/t me and Dimitri.


HOLY CRAP IT WAS COLD


It was like 17˚ out!!!! And there was wind!!!!
Then there was this ice patch that we all slipped on, but only Dimitri fell down.

:]

Then on some other day, we called up Danielle and told her that we're gonna do the rest of the scenes with her and everybody else.

We had to walk down to the store that Danielle was supposed to work at in the movie. It was closed

:[


So we just decided to do the store that was right next to it. When we got in, it was around 5-ish. We filmed some stuff, and kept filming, and so on

right in the middle of a shot, this person that actually does work there says we have to leave because their closed.



:[[



So then to finish the scene, we had to run over to a new location (Garden Street Market), and film all the stuff there.

You know how they always have those free cookies for like kids 5 and under?

age is but a number by the way....

THEY WEREN'T THERE!!

We kinda started freaking out.......and everybody kinda stood there and stared at us......

Well, we filmed the rest of it, and the arrest scene....and put in on YouTube!!!!

I'm not sure if Dimitri's done editing it, or what we even named it....

But oh well

Music

So if you have iTunes 7.7 or higher, there's this thing called Genius, and what it does is find some songs that it thinks your gonna like. All it does is take songs the songs in you music already, and takes somethings imilar in the entire iTunes, and says "Hey, you're gonna like this song cuz you already like the song so-and-so"

I have been using this a lot lately, because I still have over $30 dollars in gift cards, and I plan on spending them some time or another.

So far, I've bought 9 songs off this nifty little device, all of them alternative, because that's my music

1. Coffeeshop Soundtrack - All Time Low
2. Memory - Sugarcult
3. Best of Me - The Starting Line
4. Oh, It is Love - Hellogoodbye
5. Only One - Yellowcard
6. About a Girl - The Academy is...
7. Work - Jimmy Eats World
8. Song in My Head - Sherwood
9. My Beautiful Rescue - This Providence

I do realize that all of these are alternative

So the first one is a very catchy song, but kinda pointless lyrics
Although the music video is very funny

2nd: A song about this guy trying to win this girl back, and the music video is a bunch of stick figures dancing to the music.

3rd: I LOVE THIS SONG! Lyrics are very good, music video is very good, and the band is very good

4th: Soft song with words, except the words are kinda thrown everywhere, not very well placed

5th: This band, wrote the song "Ocean Avenue", which all people on this Earth have heard. Unless you are that one person that hasn't heard it, then it would be different

6th: This song (not kidding) has been played 36 times. I've only had it for 5 days.

7th: I like this song the best out of everything they've done. They wrote "The Middle"
And I know that 100% of English speaking people have heard it

8th: Music video is better than the actually song

9th: Very addicting song, best lyrics of all these


So......yeah


I really want the musical to start

I'm really bored after school, and I need something to do

That wasn't a real rhyme if you think about it

Packing is not a fun thing

Never a circle

Life is full of leaps, bounds, slips, and falls

Especially mine

While I exceed in things, other things suffer

And as those things suffer, things that I exceed at are taken away

Do I really have to be so perfectly rounded?



No, and I don't want to



People need to realize that I can only be human

Keeping Up To Date

Due to popular request, demand, and a few death threats

I am updating my blog



A very exciting/strange/sad/hungry thing happened today



My lizard escaped because she was hungry.



Well, basically when she gets hungry, she starts spazing and making all this noise so I'll feed her

I slept through all that noise today



So after I get up, eat breakfast, take a shower, in that order



My mom says she can't find her in her cage.

So we looked around the house for her.

And after about 5 minutes, she runs back into my room, still looking for food.



So I fed her, AND locked her cage



Now she knows the only way to get me to feed her, is not by noise, but by escape









smart little lizard









I also found a song to do for the musical auditions



Poor Thing - Sung by Helen Bonham Carter - Sweeney Todd



It's a really depressing song in a major key

and it's really fun to sing



So I bought the music with my mom's credit card, and printed it and what not

Fun time

There are many rumors that the musical will be Beauty and the Beast


I really don't want to do Beauty and the Beast though


I love the movie and all, but so does everyone else

Maine people don't get out that much, but they've all seen it, and will just compare it to our vesion

"That didn't happen in the movie"
"Look how that Belle missed the high note"
"Isn't Mrs. Pots supposed to be fatter?"

yeah...

I want to do something no one has heard of. Like Bugsy Malone

I'll probably try out for Belle anyway


So.................


I'm going go Florida, that's pretty exciting

But Valentine's day is when we're leaving, and I really want to spend a 2 hour plaine ride with my family

I have my camera, so I'll live. Especially since we're only going to Animal Kingdom

Head shot of a giraffe or 2



Yep



So besides almost failing LA, school is pretty boring
Either way there's always some homework to avoid or do
